As the title says, I’m interested in this community’s perceptions on nuclear energy.

    I think nuclear also benefits a centralized grid structure more than community-based energy production and use.

      All power generation benefits a centralized grid structure most by definition. There are scaling laws involved and humans tend not to use power at 100% all of the time, so by centralizing production and storage reductions in cost and efficiency increases in production become possible.

        Isn’t the main beneficiary of centralized power generation industry and not the average citizen?
